The main control unit 8 compares the personal ID and password input by the administrator with the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 or the like in advance, and if the validity is confirmed, the main control unit 8 determines the user classification read from the ID card. Based on this, a menu screen for selecting “clamping”, “collection”, and “exchange” that can be operated by the administrator is displayed on the display unit 3 (S73), and the administrator is made to select it.

  Here, when the administrator operates the operation unit 4 to select “exchange”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection of “exchange” (S74), and the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 have the electromagnetic lock means. In response to this instruction, the control units 18 and 27 of the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 release the lock of the electromagnetic lock means that locks the coin recovery box 15 and the banknote recovery box 25, respectively. (S75).

As a result, the coin collection box 15 and the bill collection box 25 can be removed, and the administrator exchanges the coin collection box 15 and the bill collection box 25. That is, the coin collection box 15 and the banknote collection box 25 that have been mounted on the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote handling machine 2 are removed and collected, and a new coin collection box 15 and banknote collection box 25 are attached.
When the exchange of the collection bin is completed, the manager inputs the completion of the exchange through the operation unit 4, but by providing a sensor in the coin processor 1 and the bill processor 2 to detect the attachment / detachment of the collection bin and the opening / closing of the door. It is also possible to substitute for input.

  The main control unit 8 accepts the input of completion of the collection bin exchange (S76), notifies the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 to that effect, and the control unit 18 of the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 by this notification. , 27 locks the coin collection box 15 and the bill collection box 25 exchanged by the electromagnetic lock means (S77), reads the ID of the collection box from the storage parts 15a, 25a, and notifies the main control unit 8 of the ID.

The main control unit 8 stores the notified ID in the collection / replacement history or previously stored (when checking the collection / replacement of the previous collection, before / after the collection lock is unlocked, or after selecting the collection / exchange menu). It is confirmed whether it corresponds with ID of the coin collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 15 and the banknote collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 25 (S78).
In the case of coincidence, it is assumed that the exchange has not been performed, and the fact is displayed on the display unit 3 or notified by voice from the speaker to prompt the exchange, and the processing from S75 is performed again.

In the case of discrepancy, it is assumed that the exchange has been performed. In this case, the presence or absence of coins or bills in the exchanged coin recovery box 15 and the banknote recovery box 25 is also confirmed. (S79), the process from S55 is repeated.
The main control unit 8 writes the serial number, the user ID, the classification, the front and rear, the amount of money, the number of money types, etc. as the processing result of the exchange in the collection table exchange history of the counter table in the storage unit 7 and updates it (S80). Further, the voucher recording unit 6 records the collection exchange process result on a voucher and issues it to the administrator (S81).

Note that the collection storage replacement history may be updated after the voucher is issued.
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a slip on which the result of the recovery bin exchange process is recorded. The exchange processing date and time, the user ID number, the recovery bin IDs of the exchanged coin recovery bin 15 and banknote recovery bin 25, and the previous tightening time. The number of exchanges when the coin collection box 15 and the banknote collection box 25 are exchanged from the raising to the current collection, the denominations of cash stored in the coin collection box 15 and the banknote collection box 25 exchanged this time The number of sheets (sales) for each, the total amount of all denominations, etc. are recorded.

  According to the embodiment described above, the storage unit is provided in the cash collection store (coin collection store and banknote collection store) to store the unique ID, and the ID is read from the storage unit when the cash collection store is replaced. Since it is managed together with the cash to be stored, it is possible to grasp the exchange of the cash collection box, and even if the cash collection box is exchanged without performing the tightening process, the cash in the apparatus can be confirmed. .

In addition, the cash in the cash collection box to be exchanged and the information indicating that it has been exchanged are registered. You can prevent forgetting mistakes.
